Green Within Reach
Thursday, April 1st, 2010| April 15, 2010 | ||
| 8:00 am | to | 11:00 am |
The Greener Greater Buildings Plan, New York City’s green building legislation, was passed in December 9, 2009. Solar One, in partnership with NYSERDA, the City of New York, the Alliance for Downtown New York, the New York Academy of Sciences, and the New York Building Congress, bring to you the first of a series of workshops to better explain this legislation to the audience it affects – commercial building owners and managers. In addition to legislation, we will present an overview of the NYSERDA incentives available to commercial buildings that will help offset the costs for energy efficiency upgrades.
Green Within Reach, hosted by the Alliance for Downtown New York, will take place on April 15 from 8:00-11:00am at The New York Academy of Sciences. While we expect a large amount of interest, we especially invite those who are decision-makers over commercial buildings in the downtown area to attend.
